In all, 30 Manor class locomotives were manufactured at Swindon in two batches: 20 between 1938 and 1939 and then a further 10 post nationalisation in 1950 which were designated 5MT. Although initially the performance of the locomotive was deemed at best mediocre, subtle internal refinements made towards the mid 1950s resulted in a successful and popular locomotive. In all nine examples of the Manor survived into preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGeneral Specification\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMany original GA drawings were used in the development of these accurate and authentic models. The locomotive has a diecast chassis with a coreless motor driving the rear wheels. To add compensation the centre driving wheels are sprung, the front pony truck is also sprung and operates on a cam so the model will negotiate Radius 2 curves with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo portray these locomotives over their lifetime many details have been drawn up as follows:-\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBody\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiecast boiler\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiecast footplate\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAppropriate Buffer types\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTall vacuum pipe on the tender\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLower vacuum on the locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSmoke box number plate for B.R. period\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHighly detailed cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChassis\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiecast chassis – split frames for live bearing pick-up\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBlackened nickel plated diecast driving wheels\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBrass bearings\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePlastic keeper plate with brake shoe\/linkage details\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSprung centre driving wheels\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWheels to NMRA standard  \u003cp\u003eElectrical\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePickup from loco driving wheels and tender\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCoreless motor\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTender body to be easily removable\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSpace for sugar cube speaker in tender\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFirebox glow\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLocomotive to tender with electrical connections for motor and locomotive pick-up via pin and socket vertically mounted under the cab\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56355985391996,"sku":"2S-001-007S","price":262.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/2S-001-007.93366_81b30dc8-dcb5-4e47-95cd-c7f5317a34c5.png?v=1786091758","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/2s-001-007s-dapol-4-6-0-compton-manor-7807-gwr-green-g-crest-w","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
